18:20.09 mihaineacsu hello
18:22.34 *** join/#brlcad albertcoder (~albertcod@101.208.185.150)
18:26.09 mihaineacsu tbrowder2 worked on binary attributes for a while although it's not complete I'm following up on what he did. On attributes.c, he mentions the format on how binary attributes ought to be stored in files. The format is format is: <ascii name> NULL <binary length [network order, must be decoded]> <bytes...> ; binary length has a certain width, I don't know how to determine it.
18:28.00 mihaineacsu he does make a note regarding this here: http://cl.ly/image/2y0N2H0s2E1y but bu_external doesn't have that field (intwid) so I don't know how to pick it up
18:28.59 mihaineacsu any thoughts on this?

21:31.58 raj12lnm kanzure, brlcad : Does anybody think that OpenNurbs is an API which is written by some one who was in some sort of hurry !

21:50.44 kanzure evidence?
22:02.13 kanzure i am still in favor of a python/c rewrite
22:04.43 raj12lnm kanzure : one of the reason is Execessive Overloading
22:05.08 raj12lnm kanzure : If I give you a python wrapped OpenNurbs library
22:05.38 raj12lnm how much $s are you willing to spend ? ;)
22:06.00 Notify 03BRL-CAD Wiki:Vladbogolin * 7648 /wiki/User:Vladbogolin/GSoC2014/Logs: /* Week 12 */
22:06.05 kanzure i am not sure i want to have wrapped c++ really,
22:06.14 raj12lnm but if that works. ;)
22:06.28 kanzure it depends on your definition of works
22:06.55 kanzure i would rather pay for a python rewrite
22:07.43 raj12lnm lets see.
22:07.52 raj12lnm I think the way it is progressing
22:08.07 raj12lnm we will soon have a python - wrapped OpenNurbs library
22:08.20 raj12lnm then we can decide if you still want a re-write ;)
22:08.49 raj12lnm kanzure : deal ?
22:10.27 kanzure i don't really want to maintain crappy c++ haha
22:12.52 raj12lnm that is a different perspective then.
22:22.48 kanzure oh sure, i don't expect everyone to agree
22:23.04 kanzure but, what was your question about spending money after wrapping it?
22:24.14 raj12lnm oh i was just kidding and trying to understand how important is wrapping OpenNurbs.
22:26.51 kanzure that's a good question
22:29.55 raj12lnm so can we fix a $ amount ?
22:30.09 kanzure hard to say
22:30.16 raj12lnm I saw on ohloh they tell the worth of an opensource project
22:31.30 raj12lnm https://www.openhub.net/p/brlcad/estimated_cost (17M cost for brlcad ;) )

23:02.43 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 62035 (brlcad/branches/framebuffer-experiment/include/fb.h brlcad/branches/framebuffer-experiment/src/fbserv/fbserv.c and 9 others): Take a step towards hiding all the backend specific bits in fb_private.h - major problem looks to be the *_open_existing functions. Those are a problem, because the fundamental issue is going to be hard to hide - namely, that creating embedded windows is
23:02.46 Notify inherently specific to each platform. Not even clear we can pass all the responsibility to the parent, since low level drawing may have to know platform specific details.
